Docker-Valgrind

The container exposes a leading edge version of valgrind and decent cmake and g++ installations. The idea is to mount the root directory of your project to /input (read-only), compile it in the container to a temporary directory and show the logged output. For example, consider the test project we provide in test/:

> tree test/
test/
├── CMakeLists.txt
└── test.cxx

The WORKDIR is set to /home/valgrind/build, such that one can safely compile this test project after mounting -v "$SRC":/input:ro , via cmake /input/ && make. Since WORKDIR is not part of a mounted volume, the result does not appear outside of the container. This workflow can conveniently be wrapped in a shell script, for instance as we did in valgrind.sh.

Docker Pull Command

The container is accessible via the Docker Hub: docker pull avitase/docker-valgrind. You can create your own Dockerfile and install additional dependencies of your project via apk, for example:

FROM avitase/docker-valgrind:latest

USER root
apk add --update gtest

USER ${USERNAME}
